Moment

Down 16-15 with just seconds to go in the Wild Card playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, the Tennessee Titans pulled off one of the most controversial and memorable plays in NFL history. On a last-ditch kickoff return, Lorenzo Neal handed the ball to Frank Wycheck, who lateralled it across the field to Kevin Dyson. Dyson ran it down the sideline for the improbable touchdown to win the game.

Impact

The Titans would end up playing the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV. They lost the game after Dyson was tackled one yard short of the end zone on the final play.
